    If the answer to the Monty Hall problem was 50/50, the contestant, on average, would win the car 50% of the time simply by sticking with their original guess...but you can only win a one-in-three guessing game 33.33% of the time so it can't be 50/50, can it?

      Now (2022) that the Up's have been around since 2012, a common failure is the alternator ... OEM VW about $900

      Bosch alternative part# F000BL06A0 about $400 off eBay. I recently fitted 1 and it works great.

        I also have a 2012 Up! with 190k on the clock - works great
        $60 takes me about 625km

        By now most Up!'s would have had one or two timing belts, a set of shocks and a water pump
